51 The Envoy of Incarnation Becomes the Envoy of Dishwashing

 

Hunger was something that you feel when you could not eat even if you wanted to. It was a truly terrible thing to experience. Every day would feel like hell.

Minhyuk who had chosen to be locked up in a room as a treatment for his hunger before could not even overcome his hunger and ended up eating tissues to alleviate it. And experiencing that hunger was like hell. However, his case was still a bit different from them. He had a lot of things that he could have but he still could not eat them because of his rare illness. After suffering from such hunger, the thought of other people experiencing the same thing came to mind.

Those boys and girls!

The children whose stomachs were empty because they had no money, no rice, nor hundreds of won for a bag of ramyeon.

Are there those kinds of people these days?

He thought hard and long about it and realized that there must be a lot of them. They must have just been out of sight and invisible to the public. That was why Minhyuk believed that they, as well as those people, should not experience such hell-like hunger. He knew the pain better more than anyone else.

Then, the African boy in front of him asked him a question.

“Can you please tell me who you are?” 

Minhyuk could not understand his intentions by asking such a question.

“……A person who likes to eat delicious things?”

He grinned as wide as he could, showing all of his teeth.

Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps rang from a distance.

“Where is he?!”

“Frying Pan Killer?!”

“The goddamn bastard, where did he run off to?!”

“Huh?”

Minhyuk tilted his head when he heard the rough and crass voices of the people that were trying to find him. They even knew that he was the Frying Pan Killer.

‘Buckle and Javin……’

There was a high probability that it was their colleagues. However, the sound of the voices were quite more than what he had thought. He estimated that there were at least 30 people who had appeared in the area.

Kaistra looked around him before speaking to him hurriedly.

“Get up. We need to get out of here quickly.”

Minhyuk did not answer him for a moment.

Get out of here? I can get out of here as soon as I rip this off though?

Then, Kaistra spoke again.

“You wish that there are no hungry people left in the world. It’s an extremely blissful thing to say.”

Then he smiled. Kaistra knew hunger more than anyone else. He had seen people die because of hunger. Because of hunger, Kaistra was forced to eat the bark of a tree. His stomach had become upset that time. Nevertheless, he still ate the bark of the tree the next day.

Kaistra opened his mouth once again.

“Can you please cook something delicious for my brother? Of course I’ll give you a reasonable amount of compensation.”

Minhyuk nodded when he heard his words. His work was not free. He would move if there was a reasonable compensation. In fact, it was fine for Minhyuk to not receive anything in return but he had a reason to receive compensation. The reason was simple. Kaistra had requested and begged for Minhyuk’s help. If Kaistra had requested and begged for his help and he did not receive any compensation then it would just be a simple wish from Minhyuk. Also, he had felt that Kaistra had a lot of strength and power.

He sat on top of Penrus and climbed behind Kaistra.

Minhyuk slowly took off his helmet. The reason why he took off his helmet was because when he made some soy milk from the black beans with his millstone, some of the milk splashed on it.

At that moment, Kaistra spoke to Penrus.

“Penrus, run in the speed of light.”

Flash!

A flash of light passed through the empty space.

“……Kaistra?”

Rak, who had been looking for him, looked in confusion as he saw him disappear in a flash of light. Even the Bachran Guild members saw Penrus disappearing in a flash of light. However, no matter what they did, they couldn’t find the Frying Pan Killer.

It seemed like the light that emitted from Penrus was so bright that it hid the figure of the two men sitting on top of him.

“Goddamnit! Where in the world did the Frying Pan Killer go?!”

***

Dash! Dash!

Minhyuk had no choice but to be surprised when he saw how fast Penrus was running. He could determine that Penrus was running 1km at a time.

Then, at that moment……

[Kongie is requesting a summons.]

‘Huh?’

He was taken aback by Kongie’s sudden summon request but he still summoned Kongie out. Suddenly, a baby pig appeared out of thin air and landed directly on Minhyuk’s shoulders. Then, he squeezed Minhyuk’s shoulders tightly so he wouldn’t fall off.

Kaistra turned his head and saw Kongie with a silver pot on his head.

“Is that your incarnation?”

“……Incarnation?”

Minhyuk was taken aback as he turned to look at Kongie for confirmation. However, Kongie was just looking down on Penrus.

[Kongie is feeling curious.]

The pet and his owner could read each other’s thoughts and feelings to some extent. And right now, Kongie was extremely curious about the pet that they were riding on right now, Penrus.

Meanwhile, Kaistra’s forehead frowned in confusion when he heard his question.

‘……What’s this?’

He couldn’t understand the situation at all. From the looks of it, Minhyuk, as well as the mysterious baby pig, looked like they did not know about Penrus.

‘One of the 5 incarnations has been newly born……’

There were 5 incarnations that existed in the past. Before they died, the incarnations had laid a total of five eggs. What was more important was that there was a hierarchy among these five incarnations.

Kaistra had seen information about the incarnations from carvings on stone tablets. Four of the incarnations were written and depicted showing great courtesy and respect towards the middle where the fifth reincarnation that was marked with a ‘???’ was drawn. The fifth incarnation looked like he was reigning supreme over the rest of the incarnations. He looked like he was their king. Also, Kaistra knew about what the other incarnations looked like. However, the Kongie that was behind him did not look like it was any one of the four incarnations that he was aware of.

‘Should we check it out?’

He had no malicious intentions. He also realized that Minhyuk did not know him nor what kind of person he was. Kaistra was the Envoy of Incarnation. His main purpose was to collect the incarnations for that reason he was given a special ability. It was the ability to check the abilities of another pet even though it was not his own.

[The Envoy of Incarnation’s Scan.]

[Checking for Incarnations.]

[It is an existence that can not be approached.]

[The scan has failed.]

“……!”

At that moment, Kaistra finally realized. He was the incarnation who stood at the highest position among the 5 incarnations.

“Oiink.”

“Kongie, are you hungry?”

The baby pig rubbed his belly pitifully as if he was saying ‘Please give me food, oink!’.

‘That baby pig…… I didn’t expect him to be the king……’

But why does he look like that? Is he originally supposed to look like that? No, it couldn’t be.

Kaistra believed that he should tell them about what he had seen from the scan. He had peeked on Kongie without permission and if he kept this to himself then he would just be like a small petty thief.

“Your pet is not just some ordinary pet.”

“Of course. It’s a pig. And it eats too much……! Ah, wait. He’s also my emergency food!”

Minhyuk mumbled softly as his body trembled.

“……”

Kaistra was left speechless.

‘H, he’s an incarnation…… and furthermore he’s also the king b, but you’re saying that his an emergency food ration……?’

He tried to keep his expression dull and calm as he spoke once again.

“Your baby pig. He’s one of the five incarnations.”

Then, Kaistra began to tell the story about the five incarnations.

The five incarnations, they had the form of god-like monsters or animals and they existed all over the world. Just as there were gods, there were also incarnations.

“Each incarnation has great power within them and the same is true for Penrus. Actually, I might only have come this far because of Penrus.”

Kaistra was a boy from Africa. Therefore, he was good at handling beasts. At first, he had taken the class of Monster Tamer and increased his intimacy and favorability with monsters to the extreme. As a result, he was able to transfer to the God Class ‘Envoy of Incarnations’.

“That’s all I can tell you.”

He turned his head to look at Minhyuk.

“If there are truly gods in this world then there will always be a god who can rule among those gods. And that would be your incarnation.”

“……”

Minhyuk tilted his head as he looked at Kongie who just finished drinking his black bean soy milk. After he finished gulping down his milk, Kongie even took the bottle out of his mouth with a pop as he looked at it in admiration.

“Oink!” 

After he finished eating, he wanted to eat some more so Kongie tapped happily on his glass bottle.

“Oiiiink!” 

I want to eat more, oink!

“This guy……?” 

Kaistra nodded his head.

“To put it simply, he is the king. However, it seems like this king still hides plenty of secrets.”

Kaistra let out a bitter smile.

This king’s secrets.

Those were secrets that Minhyuk needed to solve. However, it was also possible for Kaistra to aid him a bit.

‘Penrus’ Breath.’ 

Penrus’ Breath had the power to evolve other pets and summoners’ strength. However, it was an extremely valuable ability and if Penrus used it then he would not be able to exert most of his powers for several days. In addition, the owner would also have a penalty of a permanent decrease of 10 to all 5 of his basic stats.

But Kaistra thought……

‘Perhaps when I get to know more about this person……’ 

Then by that time, he would decide whether to use it for him or not.

***

When he got Kaistra’s call, Riche hurriedly accessed the game. He said that they were in Hesdam, a very small village.

And Minhyuk was able to meet Riche at this small village of Hesdam. He had heard plenty of stories about Riche along the way. Riche was a 13-year-old boy but he was very short for his age.

Minhyuk did not hesitate to use the Create a Recipe skill on Riche.

(Chicken Porridge Recipe for Riche)

Required Ingredients: Moonlight Chicken, Borta’s Carrot, Cronie’s Onion…… (omitted)

Expected Dish Grade: Unique ~ Legendary

Expected Effects:

━ Brings out the taste from your memories.

━ A 15% increase in vitality.

Athenae could gauge the person’s brain waves and their current mental state, it could read what you wanted to eat the most as well as your needs. This was why the food that Riche wanted to eat the most, the chicken porridge, was presented to him in the recipe. What was most surprising was that there was an effect that would bring out the taste from one’s memories. The thought of ‘How can this be possible?’ flashed through his mind briefly.

Then, he replaced all the materials with the materials that he had on hand.

(Chicken Porridge Recipe for Riche)

Required Ingredients: Peston’s Chicken, Heto’s Carrot, Silver Onion…… (omitted)

Expected Dish Grade: Rare ~ Epic

Expected Effects:

━ Brings out the taste from your memories.

━ An 8% increase in vitality.

What a relief. The part that says ‘Brings out the taste from your memories.’ did not change.

Minhyuk began preparing the chicken porridge.

First, he boiled the chicken. He also did not forget to take out the scum from the water when the chicken had started boiling. Then, after he boiled the chicken, he took it out from the water and tore it to shreds.

Then, for the chicken broth, he boiled the well-soaked glutinous rice, minced onions and chopped carrots and green onions.

Boil, boil━ 

Minhyuk stirred the porridge using a wooden spatula to make sure that it did not stick to the bottom of the pot.

“Woooooow. It looks delicious!”

Riche smiled widely showing his little white teeth. Minhyuk smiled at him gently as he rubbed his head softly. Then, he continued cooking the chicken porridge with great care. He was able to finish it in no time at all. Unfortunately, it was only a rare dish.

Minhyuk briefly placed the chicken porridge in his food storage inventory.

‘I want to make it better……’

He did not know why. He did not know why he was feeling a bit greedy. The child had said that his life was in danger so he wanted to give this hungry child a good present. So he boiled another chicken porridge and if he wasn’t satisfied with it then he placed it in his food storage inventory.

It didn’t matter to him about the amount that he had made and wasted since he would eat them all anyway after these things had ended. So Minhyuk just did his very best. If anyone thought about it, they would realize that this was not like the usual Minhyuk who just ate whatever he thought was delicious. 

However, it was different right now.

‘I want him to eat my food and feel happy.’

Minhyuk had felt it recently. However, he thought that he hadn’t put forth his best and all his energy to any of his dishes unlike now. Even when he cooked for God Juis.

Perhaps it’s because I feel like Riche is similar to me?

He believed that it was because he wanted to make him happy. Then, he suddenly felt his tears welling up in his eyes.

I truly hope that there will be no more hungry people in this world.

But it wasn’t just how it worked. He hated the fact that all he could do right now was cook. So he did his best in cooking this dish.

After he had finished cooking the porridge, he placed it carefully in a bowl. At that moment, the notifications rang out.
